Agree, but it's really none of my business since I'm not a citizen.
While there were some free trade benefits to the EU there were also opportunities for weaker economies to suck from the better economies. Sort of like your unemployed brother-in-law moving in with you and your family and demanding steak and lobster for dinner every day, except for days when he's out cruising with his friends in my car. I have no objection to the unemployed brother-in-law moving in, but he doesn't get to demand that we live up to his standards on our monies.
